Gulfstream Park Picks & Predictions — June 13, 2026

Operation Torch (#2, 4/1 ML) rates second in the field at 75.04 and pairs Samy Camacho with trainer James Toner — a workmanlike combination that knows how to place horses competitively. The 14% career win rate is respectable in claiming company, and at 4/1 on the morning line there's reasonable value in the place spot. If Complexed hits any kind of trouble, Operation Torch looks like the most likely beneficiary.

Sulion (#6, 8/1 ML) brings the best career win percentage in the entire field at a remarkable 33%, and trainer Juan Rizo has this horse primed as a legitimate price play. The TrackWiz rating of 54.05 is modest but the win rate is hard to ignore — this horse clearly knows how to get to the finish line first when conditions are right. At 8/1 on the morning line, Sulion is a smart show inclusion and a fun exacta partner underneath Complexed.

Gimme Some Luck (#3, 3/1 ML) rates second in the field at 81.77 and owns a 20% career win rate — among the best in the race. Jose Morelos rides for trainer Collin Maragh, and the average speed figure of 54 keeps this horse competitive on pace. If World Traveler gets into any trouble or fades, Gimme Some Luck has the profile to capitalize, and 3/1 is fair value for a horse with legitimate closing credentials.

Das Ist Alles Ally (#4, 9/5 ML) is the second-shortest on the morning line, which tells you the market respects this one despite a TrackWiz rating of 74.46 sitting third in the field. The 18% career win rate is solid, and Miguel Angel Vasquez in the irons for Rohan Crichton is a formidable pairing. At near-even money on the morning line, the show return won't be glamorous, but this horse is clearly a must-use in multi-race exotics.

Simply Striking (#8, 7/2 ML) rates second in the field at 84.19 and carries a 21% career win rate, making her a live threat at a price that offers genuine value over the favorite. Jonathan Ocasio navigates the outside post for trainer Amzadali Jehaludi, and the average speed figure of 54 is the best among our top picks in this race. If the pace heats up early and Mary Marguerite gets pressured, Simply Striking has the tactical ability and late punch to sweep through.

Plagne Champagne (#4, 5/2 ML) rates third in the field at 77.43 and comes from a barn — Victor Barboza Jr. — that runs horses frequently at Gulfstream with an eye toward results. Diego Herrera rides, and the 20% career win rate with an average speed figure of 54 rounds out a reliable show profile. A useful piece in trifecta construction, especially if you're trying to beat the top two straight up.

Irish Adieu (#3, 8/5 ML) is the morning-line favorite and brings an average speed figure of 54 for trainer Bobby Dibona, with Miguel Angel Vasquez — one of the sharper riders at Gulfstream — in the irons. The TrackWiz rating of 59.00 is third in the field, which does suggest the public is overrating this one relative to our model's view. Still a credible place horse, but at 8/5 on the morning line, there's no value playing Irish Adieu to win — the place spot is the right way to use this horse.

Jalapeno (#5, 3/1 ML) rates just below Irish Adieu at 56.67 and gets Samy Camacho aboard for trainer Carlos David. No prior speed figure is available, which introduces some uncertainty, but the 3/1 price and the respected barn make this horse worth including in your show and exotic plays. Camacho is sharp enough to put a first-time starter in position to run a big number.

Vanish (#1, 7/2 ML) rates second in the field at 74.51 and carries a 16% career win rate with Samy Camacho up for trainer Happy Alter. The rail post in a route can be a double-edged sword, but Camacho is experienced enough to navigate traffic and the average speed figure of 54 is competitive. Vanish looks like a horse that figures in the race from start to finish and earns a confident place designation.

Somerset Mia (#6, 15/1 ML) is our value play for the show spot, carrying a TrackWiz rating of 68.40 despite being a massive overlay at 15/1 on the morning line. Edwin Gonzalez rides for trainer David VanWinkle, and the 12% career win rate is respectable in claiming company. At those odds, tossing Somerset Mia into your trifecta tickets gives you a big payout potential if the top two run as expected — this is exactly the kind of price that inflates exotic returns.

Ace Ventura (#4, 7/2 ML) rates second in the field at 80.58 with an average speed figure of 55 — the second-fastest in the race — and Diego Herrera handles the mount for trainer Amador Merei Sanchez. The 11% career win rate is a bit light, but in sprints the pace setup matters more than career percentages, and Ace Ventura has the early foot to stay close to Kinetic Stone through the lane. A logical place horse and an important exotic partner.

Prince David (#6, 6/1 ML) rates third in the field at 70.02 and Luis Fuenmayor takes the call for trainer Frederick Labo. The average speed figure of 54 is solid enough to compete in this sprint, and at 6/1 on the morning line there's show value here if the top two dominate. Prince David is a clean trifecta anchor underneath Kinetic Stone and Ace Ventura.

Dimanche Gras (#3, 5/2 ML) rates second in the field at 79.35 and is the morning-line co-choice for trainer Nicholas Tomlinson with Micah Husbands aboard. The 6% career win rate is low for a horse at this price point, but Tomlinson has two runners in this race and clearly has stable form going. An average speed figure of 54 and a patient riding style from Husbands sets up well in a crowded field.

Esperanzito (#11, 6/1 ML) rates third overall at 68.86 with a 12% career win rate — one of the stronger records among the mid-tier horses in this field. Diego Herrera rides for trainer Carlos Luis Perez, and the average speed figure of 53 is consistent. In a 13-horse race, finding a 6/1 shot for the show pays well when the top two cooperate, and Esperanzito has the profile to deliver.

Accelerate Me (#7, 9/2 ML) rates second in the field at 74.56 and carries a 21% career win rate for trainer Ronald Coy — who also sends out Brooklyn Guy in this very race. Jose Morelos takes the call, and with Coy having two horses in the race there may be a tactical element to how they're ridden. At 9/2 on the morning line, Accelerate Me offers solid place value with a proven record of competing well.

Santos to Wilson (#4, 4/1 ML) rates third in the field at 71.03 and has the best average speed figure among our three picks at 55. Edwin Gonzalez rides for trainer Reynaldo Yanez, and the 20% career win rate speaks to a horse that consistently competes at a high level in this format. A reliable show inclusion and a good trifecta partner if the top pair holds as expected.

Four Courts (#4, 5/2 ML) is essentially a dead heat with Leo's Rocket in the model at 86.04 — separated by just three hundredths of a rating point. Jonathan Ocasio rides for trainer Douglas Nunn, and Four Courts matches Leo's Rocket at 56 in average speed figures — actually a tick higher. The 5/2 morning line makes Four Courts the expected favorite, and while we lean toward the slight rating edge with our win pick, Four Courts is unquestionably a horse to use across the board in your tickets.

Le Midi's Treasure (#2, 3/1 ML) rates third in the field at 56.67 and comes from the barn of Saffie Joseph Jr. — one of the premier trainers working the Gulfstream circuit, known for getting first-time starters and maiden horses ready to fire. Micah Husbands gets the mount, and while there's no prior speed figure available, the combination of a top trainer, a solid rating, and a fair price makes Le Midi's Treasure a strong show play and a key piece in trifecta tickets.
